TWiRT Ep. 755 - Broadcast Freedom in the USA with Andy Gladding

Update: 2025-07-04

Description

As we celebrate the 4th of July - Independence Day - in the United States, we’re reminded of the relative freedoms we enjoy here in the realm of broadcasting. In our case we’re speaking of radio broadcasting. Dr. Andy Gladding teaches broadcasting at Hofstra University, plus he’s the Market DoE for the Salem radio stations in New York City. Additionally, Andy is the new owner of WKZE-FM in Saulsbury, Connecticut. His work (and working vacations) have taken Andy to several other countries where he gets to know and understand the radio broadcasting landscape. Who better to compare and contrast broadcasting rules and practices with those in the USA? Join us for a fascinating look at radio broadcasting in a few other countries as we celebrate Independence Day in the USA.
